The NanoPi K1 features three USB 2.0 ports, one microUSB 2.0 port for power, a microSD slot, while wireless support includes 802.11 b/g/n.

An HDMI port supports 4K video output. However, it's restricted to 30 frames per second. It also has one GPIO button, a red LED power indicator, a green LED status light, heatsink, and a built-in infrared receiver.

Multimedia features include a DVP camera interface, a built-in mic, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Naturally, to use the NanoPi K1 users will need to have their own monitor, TF card keyboard and mouse, and FriendlyElec recommend the host computer is a 64-bit system running Ubuntu 16.04.

FriendlyElec provides a FriendlyCore OS, which is based on UbuntuCore. Further specification and setup details are also available on the NanoPi K1 Plus wiki.
